Iuteresing sidelights ns io tho character and quality of French instice alwavs are to be had whenever Paris ets hold of a cause celebre. It was so in the Dreyfus wise and it is more so in the ease of Mine. Steinheil, the noto "ious "red widow" of tho charge of murdering her hus band and his mother. Now that she has been acquitted, the world can well wonder how it came about. It is impossible to conceive from an American point of view -that she had a fair trial. Onlv her wit saved her from the guillotine. in a French assize court the presiding judge appears also as the chief prosecuting officer, and accusation and epithet fall from the bench as freely as from the hps ot her most bitter enemy. "I am going to ask this woman a question, says the court, "and when I do, watch her faint!" Imagine an American judge making such a statement before a jnry in whose hands rests the life of a defendant: and that" is onlv one of the mildest of the expressions the dispatches have brought us from the lips of tho French judge who was presiding at the Steinheil trial. If, bv anv interpretation, any remark let tall irom the bench during the trial of a defendant, even though he be guiltv of the most heinous of crimes, could bo construed as having the remotest influence in bringing about an ad verse verdict on the part of the jury, appellant courts would without hesitation grant a row trial. The Frenc'i method sa vol's n noli of the inquisition, where the third degree is carried inro the courtroom and the defendant placed upon the mci.tal rack to the last mo ment. Indeed, French methods assert guilt until 111110 cenco is proven, whereas the American theory is the re verse. And yet probably there is as much injustice m America as in France. M. L.

Admission 10 and 20 Cents THE WHIP HID Former Secretary of Treasury Makes Startling Statement Bctorc Meeting in San Francisco, r (United I'res I.onsod Wire.) l'HIIiAnULl'HlA, Nov. U5. That the United States was forced to hum ble itself before Japan at the time the anti-Japanese feeling amused by the school difficulty in San I'rnnois co, was the startling declaration of former Secretary of tho Treasmy Leslie M. Shaw, that is causing com ment of a varied nature hero today. Before the Neighborhood Club last evening Shaw, in advocating tho pas sage of a ship-subsidy bill, declared that the United States had been piti fully unprepared for war anil that this country was forced to bow to the Japanese because the government realized its inability to prosecute a successful military campaign in the event of war. "A short time ago." he said, "we had with us in this city a doelgation of Japanese visitors. We told them how much we loved them and how remote was the possibility of a war between our people and theirs. They took it and smiled, but at the same time, the great men at the home of the a.Tpanese were the full masters of the Pacific and they are hinting at their willingness to defend this at titude with anus. "I am tryiug to tell you that we are going to war with the Jananese, but you can't overlook one faet. Ja pan has f00 ships of her merchant marine on the water and fifty more on the way. Every one is under con tract to quit commerce ami start an other line of marine activity at the call of the government. There was a deep-seated alarm in Washington at the time of Snn Francisco's out break against the Japanese. You don't know how near war we were. In order to avoid it we had to knuck le down to every condition they de manded. Had we been in condition for war, and been jvissessed of a merchant mnriue, we never would have had swnlled that bitter pill." f SOCIAL AND PERSONALl Fred J.
